Used to think 3.7"-3.8" was the perfect screen size. Just after I got the HTC 8X, I thought 4.3" was the sweet spot. After a year of using the 8X, I now wish to get a phone with a bigger screen size for my next phone. 4.5" - 5" would be the perfect size I think.

Currently using the NL920 with its 4.5in screen and it is a good size but I would like a bit bigger screen. I think ideal would be 5in. That's my $0.02.

I think for me, 4.5 does a pretty great job. It's a nice balance between being the right size for my hands and having a nice, decently large screen. I may change my mind when I see the Lumia Icon at 5 inches or a 4.7 inch phone. Those may sway me in that direction.

I think 4.5 is a good all around size, I also have a 1520 and the 6 inch size hasn't really caused many issues, found a decent vertical holster for it. I carry a 920 in pocket for work and 1520 in holster for personal. Love Windows phone so much I got rid of my fianc? !

I have 620s and a 920. The form factor of the 620 is nice sometimes, but for overall usability (typing + reading) the 920 is better for me. I'm looking forward to the 929/Icon as soon as Verizon can pull their corporate heads out and release it. Having the resolution of the 1520 in a ~920-sized package will be great.

For me the handset's footprint shouldn't be larger than the 920 and the screen should be as large as possible. I think with less bezel it would be possible to cram in a 4.7-4.8" screen in there, so i'll call that my favourite size.

I use a Lumia 820 and the screen size is perfect for me. Although i think 4.5" is the optimal size. Though no one realises that the resolution is also important.

I currently use Lumia 720. Though I am comfortable using the 4.3", I would like to use a little larger screen. Am doubtful for 6", specially with the current options available (overall dimensions are large compared to screen size)

This. A phone larger than my 920 would be a pain to use with only one hand. But I would like a slightly larger screen, at least enough to make it 1080p.

Yeah. So what we can deduce is that people like different screen sizes. :) I have fairly large hands, so I have no trouble using the 1520 with one hand. My wife has tiny hands, so she would have a lot of trouble using the 1520 with two hands, let alone one hand. The 1520 is a very niche product. I have a 520 as my music hub, but can't stand how small the screen is. Someone else might love the size of it though...and according to the sales of it, lots of people really do. I'm interested in the actual sales numbers of the 1520. I'd also like to see what the 1320 does as far as sales go.

I like my Lumia 620 size and display. It's 3.8", the smallest Windows Phone 8 i could find. I think this is the best one cuz these days almost all the phones became much bigger and not really comfortable for using with one hand. 620 is well-made small phone which can be used by one hand, i like it. :)
